Early Routine Upper Gastrointestinal Contrast Study Following Bariatric Surgery: an Indispensable Postoperative Care or a Medicolegal Heritage?
Article in Obesity surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Concerns still exist regarding the role of early routine upper gastrointestinal contrast study (UGI) after bariatric procedures for detection of early complications. We reviewed our database to identify patients who underwent laparoscopic primary or redo surgery (previously placement of adjustable gastric banding), between January 2012 and December 2017. All the patients underwent UGI within 48 h after surgery. Among 1094 patients, early UGI was abnormal in 5 patients: in 4 cases a leak (one false positive) and in one case stenosis (one true positive) were suspected. In this clinical setting, five leaks were observed and required surgical re-exploration: 3 correctly identified and 2 not detected at UGI. Overall, 3 patients developed anastomotic stenosis. Our data suggest that early routine UGI after bariatric procedures has limited utility.
